The other day I was listening to a podcast when the individual referred to the trans community as the island of misfit toys. At first I was perturbed, he meant it as a slander. Now after several days I've decided that F you I'm going to own that and yes I may be a misfit but there's room for all at the table. Without anyone being singled out for being different than them. Small minded people suck.
Katie...
When I look at the world in general....
the greed, the corruption, the me me me culture, the attention seeking, grab what you can while you can, racism, the " celebrity" culture, bigotry etc etc etc....and these are all NORMAL people....???????
then if I have to be labelled....im glad i'm a misfit toy....and safe on my CDH island, because if everyone else is normal, god help us all.....rant over.
Crossdresser Grace, and proud of it. 💓💓💓
Hi Katie I would not take it to heart He probably is one of these guys that found out he was attracted to a trans woman and hates himself for it. You cannot control how others will react to any situation. You can control how you react. These people are every where. I am not sure what makes people feel so uncomfortable when they see a CD/TG. Maybe that should be the subject of a podcast.

Grace what is a mis fit toy? Sounds naughty and fun
Stephanie....
Sounds like an embarrassing trip to the emergency room to me!!!!
I don't know what that is either. If they are talking about us it must be a compliment. That or F... you too.
Grace Too funny What a picture LOL I bet it was fun for little while at least

If that person needed to isolate and slander a select group of people, that person just verbalized their ignorance and short sightedness to that audience.
To be fair, I've always felt like a misfit in society ever since I was young. My behaviour is a bit off from the norm, always has been and always will be. I managed to fit parts of me into regular society (like through my work) but never in its entirity.
Finding a place where another part of me fits makes me really happy. I really shouldn't care what someone else thinks, as long as I'm happy with myself doing something without harming anyone?
I'm not defending the label, but the "misfit" toys saved the day in the story.
Robyn I looked up "misfit' toys after your response I can see where someone might considered us misfit toys. They are certainly cute but a little different. They do have a island to them selves and everyone there is accepted no matter how they presented them selves. I believe that is what we are all asking for acceptance no matter how we present our selves. The word misfit is what got my attention. I remember being called "cutie pies' by a group of woman when i was younger. Cutie pies works for me, lets see how it sounds "Hey mom I think those ladies look like a couple of cutie pies" "Hey mom I think those ladies look like a couple of Misfits" which one works for you if any. Thanks for the info Robyn.

I don't mind being a misfit but I don't like the idea of being looked down upon for it.
I've always known I was different and was bullied as a teen for it, I don't put up with that crap anymore 🥰.

Oh this reminds of the children animated series during Christmas where Rudulph visit the island of misfit toys . HO HO
A misfit fits me almost perfectly. In fact my head is all over the place. At the age of 66 sometimes I think of myself as just a guy trying to look like a woman. Sometimes I feel almost like a woman when I dress and get such a high and a smile when someone calls me Ma'am.
My own kids know about my CD, but treat my like the misfit toy, they don't want to talk about it or see it. They will only deal with me if that is not mentions or be seen.
